Statement:
SAG/AFTRA should be a union of stability and security especially when it comes to health care. Past trustees failed leaving senior members with no ability to retain benefits. Leadership tricked us into thinking the 2020 contract was a win. Instead, we got weaker contracts, unaddressed safety, meager relocation fees with binding exclusivity, a healthcare plan in crisis, worry over pensions. Let’s get our act together! “New media” is now the norm. We need people with heart and guts willing to ruffle feathers for the good of ALL members. With your vote, I promise to be one of those people.
